Baseline
Analysis messagesPre-generated Q&A about this fund. Use as reference context for your own analysis.
The latest change list shows LIN unchanged to 13.92%; NEM unchanged to 7.69%; NUE unchanged to 5.74%. Combined with top 5 37.45%, top 10 59.79%, top 20 89.17%, that tells the user whether the baseline is becoming more concentrated or simply refreshing existing exposure. For a static page, this is the best first check before deciding whether the raw disclosed book is still acceptable.
The baseline is a direct read-through of the disclosed ETF or index-like fund. It is led by LIN (Linde plc) 13.92%, NEM (Newmont Corporation) 7.69%, and NUE (Nucor Corporation) 5.74%, with sector exposure of Materials 100.02%. The baseline metrics show return 9.55%, alpha -2.90%, beta 0.96, Sharpe 0.55, Sortino 0.73, and max drawdown -39.39%, so this should be treated as an equity exposure with its own concentration and timing risk rather than a neutral benchmark clone.
Concentration is the first item to inspect: top 5 37.45%, top 10 59.79%, top 20 89.17%. The largest names are LIN (Linde plc) 13.92%, NEM (Newmont Corporation) 7.69%, NUE (Nucor Corporation) 5.74%, FCX (Freeport-McMoRan Inc.) 5.36%, and CRH 4.74%, and the largest sector exposures are Materials 100.02%. If those exposures reverse, baseline performance can diverge sharply from a broad index.
